Segal–Stolz–Teichner conjecture for supersymmetric field theories and TMF

Let XX be a space and let nn be an integer. Consider fully extended, degree n-n, 2-dimensional supersymmetric field theories over XX, modulo concordance. Segal–Stolz–Teichner conjecture. There is a 1 ⁣: ⁣11\!:\!1 correspondence

{fully extended, degree n, 2-dimensionalsupersymmetric field theories over X}/concordanceTMFn(X).\left\{\begin{array}{l}\text{fully extended, degree $-n$, 2-dimensional}\text{supersymmetric field theories over $X$}\end{array}\right\}\big/\text{concordance}\simeq \mathrm{TMF}^{-n}(X).

This conjecture expresses the proposal that supersymmetric Euclidean field theories furnish cocycles for generalized cohomology. The analogous assertion for complex KK-theory is known in dimension 11, whereas the TMF\mathrm{TMF} case remains open.
